Hi Javier, Keep "Timing_translator" and "Default_bar_line_engraver" as default (i.e. at the Score level) and simply use \set Staff.timeSignatureFraction = #'(12 . 8) and \scaleDurations #'(2 . 3) (see NR 1.2.3 Displaying rhythms > Polymetric notation). http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.14/Documentation/notation/displaying-rhythms.html#polymetric-notation You do not need to override SpacingSpanner or use proportionalNotationDuration anymore. 12/8 is equal to 6/4, so you need to scale by multiplying by 2/3 in order to have 4/4. %%%% Snippet \version "2.14.2" rightHand= \relative c'' { \clef treble \time 12/8 \repeat unfold 12 { d8 c8 } } leftHand=\relative c { \clef bass \time 4/4 \repeat unfold 6 { d4 c4 } } \score{ << \new PianoStaff << \new Staff \with { \consists "Bar_number_engraver" } { \set Staff.timeSignatureFraction = #'(12 . 8) \scaleDurations #'(2 . 3) { \rightHand } } \new Staff \with { \consists "Bar_number_engraver" } { \leftHand } >> >> \layout{ \context { \Score \remove "Bar_number_engraver" } \context { \Voice \remove "Forbid_line_break_engraver" tupletFullLength = ##t } } } %%%% End of snippet Cheers, Xavier -- Xavier Scheuer <x.sche...@gmail.com> _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
